Thanks for the status upgrade!!

Here is a good pdf file from a manual that gives instructions on removing/installing the cables and and exploded view of the components. Not sure if live links are allowed so just change the hxxp to http.

P.S. Anyone that has to replace a power slider because one of the side windows are broke....Keep the tray that the middle window sits it. You may be able to sell in the classifieds. Some auto wreckers may not let you take it if the window is not broken.

pm me if you still need a gray switch plate cover - I have a single slot gray plate somewhere (I did a conversion a few months ago, and used the gray one til I found the Tan I needed...)

Was the motor for the slider in the donor and part of the $50? That is a great deal if so. The cost about $250 at my local dealer! Be sure to keep the cable serviced. The previous owner to my truck did not and now I need a new motor.

Yes...it was part of the $50. I had to remove it all myself,but I got the motor with cables,bolts,wireharness/switch and the tray the glass slides on. If anyone is not able to get that tray because the window is not broke you can order it from tasca. I think its under $10

Where did you get the ends for the wiring to work in the factory connector?

Need help

Hey Saleen,

I have a couple of question about this. What is the best way to get ahold of you?

Thanks,

Mike

Now I have a moon roof in my 05 f150 supercab XLT are the wires for the switch hidden somewhere? It's already wired for the motor. And I took the overhead console out and didn't see the wires to put in a switch for the power rear slider. I have already installed the paper window and motor , just need more direcrion to do it right for wiring. Also it's wired for defrost the the rear as well but I didn't have heat rear window before. Any info and that would be great as well.
